E & T for the physically handicapped at Hereward College

Hereward College was established with national support from the DES and Local Education Authorities, and opened to students from all parts of the country in September, 1971. The idea for setting up such a college was first proposed by a working party in 1960 to fill a gap in the provision for physically‐handicapped school leavers. The college provides residential accommodation for 100 students, and there has been a three‐year build‐up with the college fully operational from September, 1974.
